Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park

beautiful, clean, and peaceful place to spend time with family. There are no slides, but kids absolutely love the splash pad with fountains and the big tipping bucket that pours water over them — so much fun! The whole area feels fresh and safe, with lots of open space to run and play. The view of the river and the city skyline across the water is simply stunning, especially at sunset. One of the most unique and cool things is watching the rowing teams train in their long boats on the river — it’s really impressive! There are also picnic tables, shaded areas, and plenty of grass to relax. Everything is well maintained, and the vibe is friendly and chill. Great spot for a family outing or just a quiet walk by the river. Highly recommend!

Up to date park with plenty of options around to keep you active and get fresh air. There are different table stations, courts, kids area with a free water play zone, and walking trails that leads you to other spots along the hillsborough river. It is an event part so its better to check in advance if the park is available or not because they will block off areas for that and cause traffic.

We loved the riverfront park, a lot to do in the area ( basketball, tennis, pickleball, running, exercising equipment) we loved the splash pad and the park, after playing about we walked the riverside and it was very peaceful and calming. We watched a few boats pass us by very friendly folks aboard, we all loved seeing all the art work. Beautiful environment !! We will be returning soon!!!

We discovered this park while looking for a place to play tennis. The courts are well maintained, with shade and water fountains, we really enjoyed playing there. The park itself is quite big, there are soccer and basketball fields, also a playground with a splash pad, and many beautiful spots for sitting. Paring is free.

This park is perfect for the whole family. A large open field, free parking available in both lots, basketball courts , soccer fields, nice play area for both little (0-4) and bigger kids. There’s also a nice splash area with a big water bucket. Perfect for a Saturday out with family !

Beautiful park on the Hillsborough river. Plenty of parking on a Thursday morning

Wow, what a wonderful place to visit. It was our first time coming here, and it was so worth it. Walking along the river was great. There was an amazing teal sculpture on the walk. We were able to see the water taxi going by. There is a large grass area with so much space to do so much. The playground was very entertaining to the kids. There are a number of obstacles to enjoy. Some swings would've been nice. The splash pad that is there made up for everything. It was great. It's very spacious, and there's a lot of cover/shade. Next time, we plan to try out the kayak rentals. I highly recommend this area.

This is a beautiful, relaxing riverfront park overlooking the Tampa skyline. There are many things to explore, give it a try!
